OUR BILLS | NEWS | CALL TO ACTION

I spoke with Representative Angela Cockerham this evening and she confirmed that she dropped our bill mid morning today. She is very excited and encouraged about our rally Wednesday!

Senator McDaniel's secretary confirmed with MaryJo today that he dropped the bill in the senate today too.

•PLEASE NOTE::: WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 4TH to convince Senator Dean Kirby + Senator Terry Burton and Representative Sam Mims to bring our bill up in their respective committee.

(if the bills are assigned to another committee…health possibly then we will add to the above list; we should know this by the end of this week)

I am going to be bold and let you all know there is no time to hope these guys read emails; they need phone calls & lots of them. They need to hear from their constituents especially!!

•SAM MIMS: (represents: Adams, Amite, Franklin, Lawrence, Pike, Walthall)Capitol Room: 104-Bhome: 601.684.0281capital: 601.359.3320 (secretary is Tammy; calling her by name is empowering. she is not for our fight…please let Sam know if she is anything less than kind and helpful.)

EVERYONE should contact theses 3 men beginning now. THOSE PEOPLE in the counties they represent need to speak to them *face to face* if at all possible, but certainly by phone-being sure to let them know you are their constituent!! Wednesday at our rally is a great opportunity for this, but you can go to the capital anytime and ask to see them!!

Talking points are in a link to your left, but it can be as simple as, "I, as a parent want options regarding vaccines. 48 other, healthier states give parents the right to choose, it is time for Mississippi to step out of the dark ages." --more or less; you get the idea…you, as a parent want and deserve this fundamental right!
